United Nations children's agency UNICEF wants New Zealand to ramp up support for distressed Māori whānau.
Its regular progress report has flagged poor housing, dismal education statistics and a lack of respect for minority cultures.
New Zealand deputy director Brandi Hudson says more than 200,000 families live in poverty, including 55,000 whānau Māori – more than enough to fill Eden Park.
"Just imagine standing in the middle of Eden Park with 40,000 people and it's packed, telling all those people – sorry we can't do much for you. This is the scale of it". She says.
